CATALOG NOTICE:
THE WEB VERSION OF THE UNIVERSITY CATALOG IS A REPLICATION OF THE
PUBLISHED OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY CATALOG
In keeping with the "Catalog Rights" policy below, the Chico Web versions
of the various University Catalogs that are provided were originally replications
of the published University Catalog for the years indicated with respect
to course descriptions and degree requirements. However this information
may have been modified to reflect corrections and approved changes. As
students may establish catalog rights for a particular published catalog,
the University has elected to place on the Chico Web replications of our
various printed catalogs, rather than maintain a single Chico Web catalog
that is continuously revised. By University policy, significant changes
to courses and degree requirements are approved effective with the next
published catalog, unless circumstances warrant earlier implementation.
Such exceptional changes have been noted. When viewing graduation and
major requirements, you should review the version of the catalog applicable
to you (see below). In all cases you should consult with your major department
adviser regarding the major requirements applicable to you, and any changes
from published catalogs that may be appropriate.
ELECTION OF GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND YOUR CATALOG RIGHTS
As long as you maintain continuous attendance at CSU, Chico, or a
combination of CSU campuses and California Community Colleges (CCC), your
catalog rights are protected according to the following regulations:
You may elect to meet the graduation requirements in effect:
1) at the
time you began your college program at any one of the California State
University campuses or California Community Colleges,
2) when you entered
the CSU campus from which you intend to graduate, or
3) at the time you
graduate from a campus of the California State University.
Continuous attendance is defined as "regular attendance....one regular
semester or two regular quarters per each calendar year." Once you have
established your "catalog rights," your absence related to an approved
educational leave or for attendance at another accredited institution of
higher learning shall not be considered an interruption, providing the
absence does not exceed two years.
If you are following an earlier version of a program in which your
department has discontinued or modified required courses, the department
may authorize appropriate substitutions.
If while enrolled you declare or change your major, major option, or
minor, you should normally expect to follow the requirements 1) in effect
at the time of the declaration or change; or 2) in effect when you file
for graduation. For details see your adviser.
Whether you choose option 1) or 2) concerning your major, major option,
or minor requirements, you may continue to follow the University, General
Education, and Mathematics and Writing requirements listed in The
University Catalog for which you claim "catalog rights" as defined above.
Direct your questions regarding election of graduation requirements to
the Evaluations section in the Office of Student Records and Registration..
Guidelines for Webmasters:
To keep links to the University Catalog current (with the least amount
of maintenance), we ask that everyone linking to the catalog from their
own personal, program, college, or department Web pages use a generic
Web address. That is, when linking to any information in the catalog,
do not use the specific catalog year (cat03, cat01, etc).
Examples:
Do not use: http://www.csuchico.edu/catalog/cat03/programs/math/. This
address includes the specific year format, which will become outdated
and should not be used.
Instead, use: http://www.csuchico.edu/catalog/programs/math/ (inserting
the appropriate program for your link in place of math). This
format will always point to the most recent information.
We use a Symbolic Link which points to a file on the system where the
information is really located for the current catalog, but the generic
URL remains the same even as the information in the file is updated. By
using the generic Web address, the link will always point to the most
current catalog year, and it wont be necessary to change your links
each time a new catalog is published.
Photographs from the 2005-2007 catalog are available at http://www.csuchico.edu/vpaa/colorcatalogphotos/.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Thanks,
